About

This study evaluates 2 Techniques of Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SARME) in the treatment of maxillary transverse deficiency. Half of participants will undergo an osteotomy between the maxillary central incisors, while the other half will undergo an osteotomy between the maxillary lateral incisors and canines (bilateral osteotomies).

Full description

Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SARME) can be performed by a osteotomy between the maxillary central incisors and by osteotomies between the maxillary lateral incisors and canines (bilateral).

Both techniques treat transverse maxillary hypoplasia, but they do so with different effects on esthetics, periodontium, teeth and bone expansion.
